For a positive integer n , define f ( n ) = i = 0 ∑ ∞ 2 i g cd ( i , n ) and let g : N → Q be a function such that d ∣ n ∑ g ( d ) = f ( n ) for all positive integers n . Given that g ( 1 2 3 2 1 ) = q p for relatively prime positive integers p and q , find ν 2 ( p ) .

What does ν 2 denote?
By Mobius inversion we have g ( n ) = d ∣ n ∑ μ ( n / d ) f ( d ) where μ is the Mobius function. In this case we have 1 2 3 2 1 = 3 2 ⋅ 3 7 2 so we get g ( 1 2 3 2 1 ) = f ( 1 2 3 2 1 ) − f ( 4 1 0 7 ) − f ( 3 3 3 ) + f ( 1 1 1 ) . So g ( 1 2 3 2 1 ) = ∑ i = 0 ∞ 2 i a i where a i = g cd ( i , 1 2 3 2 1 ) − g cd ( i , 4 1 0 7 ) − g cd ( i , 3 3 3 ) + g cd ( i , 1 1 1 ) . It's not too hard to see that a i is nonzero if and only if 1 2 3 2 1 ∣ i , in which case it equals 1 2 3 2 1 − 4 1 0 7 − 3 3 3 + 1 1 1 = 7 9 9 2 .
So g ( 1 2 3 2 1 ) = j = 0 ∑ ∞ 2 1 2 3 2 1 j 7 9 9 2 = 1 − 2 1 2 3 2 1 1 7 9 9 2 = 2 1 2 3 2 1 − 1 7 9 9 2 ⋅ 2 1 2 3 2 1 . Since 7 9 9 2 = 8 ⋅ 9 9 9 , we get v 2 ( p ) = v 2 ( 7 9 9 2 ) + 1 2 3 2 1 = 1 2 3 2 4 .

First if f ( n ) = ∑ d ∣ n g ( d ) then g ( n ) = ∑ d ∣ n μ ( n / d ) f ( d ) . (Mobius inversion).
We have g c d ( k , n ) = ∑ d ∣ n , d ∣ k ϕ ( d ) = ∑ d ∣ n e k ( d ) ϕ ( d ) , such that e k ( d ) = 1 if d ∣ k and 0 otherwise and ϕ ( n ) is Euler's totient function.
We get g ( n ) = ∑ d ∣ n μ ( n / d ) f ( d ) = ∑ k = 0 ∞ 2 k 1 ∑ d ∣ n g c d ( k , d ) μ ( n / d ) = ∑ k = 0 ∞ 2 k 1 e k ( n ) ϕ ( n ) .( ( e k ϕ ∗ 1 ) ( n ) = g c d ( k , n ) )
Finally g ( n ) = ϕ ( n ) ∑ k = 0 ∞ 2 k n 1 = ϕ ( n ) 2 n − 1 2 n . The answer will be v 2 ( ϕ ( 1 2 3 2 1 ) ) + 1 2 3 2 1 = 1 2 3 2 4
